I hope at some point I will.stop comparing myself to others and feeling so inferior. <br /><br />I'm really NOT as crazy as I sound at times,but I try to be as raw and as real as I can here!<br /><br />JenJennifer Hudson Mosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634524809826975316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125999893780432.post-74482926140563380262013-05-17T18:23:45.932-04:002013-05-17T18:23:45.932-04:00Fitmomhttp://www.fitmom.co.zanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125999893780432.post-49487727199547947812013-05-17T18:08:55.621-04:002013-05-17T18:08:55.621-04:00Jen, I've read your blog from the beginning a...Jen, I've read your blog from the beginning and it has changed how I think about almost everything now! The other day, I caught myself saying, "I don't care how much I weigh after surgery, or what weight I maintain. If it is 200 pounds, but I can wear my size 9 jeans (or so my surgeon tell me I will), I don't care!"<br /><br />Although you struggle with that mentality, YOU made me see that!<br /><br />My best friend is 5'0" and weighs 110 pounds. But you look SO much smaller than her because you are all muscle and she has very, very little. You also look healthier than her, so you carry yourself well (in pics), and she does not. <br /><br />You will eventually figure out what will work for you, and what doesn't! I know you can do it!<br /><br />ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333385933577463689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125999893780432.post-66194309335207820792013-05-17T13:54:21.357-04:002013-05-17T13:54:21.357-04:00Easier said then done, Aunt Karla, but I'm wor...Easier said then done, Aunt Karla, but I'm working on it!<br /><br />I love you!<br /><br />JenJennifer Hudson Mosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634524809826975316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125999893780432.post-22657582694648833962013-05-17T13:53:27.126-04:002013-05-17T13:53:27.126-04:00First off, not offended at all.

This is not logical, it's an emotional/insecurity thing. <br /><br />And I hope for you when you get to the weight you want to be, you are healthier in the head then I am ;)))<br /><br />It's about wanting - NEEDING - to be PERFECT. Which, of course, will never happen!<br /><br />Jen <br />Jennifer Hudson Mosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634524809826975316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125999893780432.post-21059176992040266942013-05-17T13:12:54.273-04:002013-05-17T13:12:54.273-04:00Jen, You only have to look back at the pictures of...Jen, You only have to look back at the pictures of yourself before you lost weight and since you have been maintaining your weight to understand why people find you inspiring. Not everyone is as strong-willed as you are, and that is an asset that has helped you achieve your goals. Don't overthink everything you do or what people say to you...just be happy and say "thank you".Aunt Karla-noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125999893780432.post-37977633351326963472013-05-17T12:19:41.439-04:002013-05-17T12:19:41.439-04:00Well, I have absolutely no right to feel this way,...Well, I have absolutely no right to feel this way, since I'm not you, and we all have our own demons. However, I'm so heavy, and have so much to lose, that this "problem" seems almost trivial to me. But again - it's NOT trivial, it's what you are feeling.<br /><br />The thing that kind of baffles me is this: why is it still about losing a certain amount of weight with your situation? I can understand that you don't want to gain (fat, that is), but you are at a healthy weight right now, and if you gain a bit or lose a bit, you are still at a healthy weight.<br /><br />I feel that when I get to my "healthy" weight (whatever that is), it will be all about fitness-type goals, and not losing pounds anymore.<br /><br />Hope I didn't offend - I really enjoy your blog.43 going on deadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830992745892085389noreply@blogger.com
